Faith and Community

Serving Together in Ministry

Habitat for Humanity is an ecumenical Christian ministry built on the biblical principles of obeying God, loving one another and caring for the poor.  Habitat and the faith community are natural partners in this hands-on ministry, where people are given an opportunity to put their faith into action and see a tangible result.

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles values our Faith Partners

People of faith hear a calling to reach out to those in need and change the world.  We offer them that opportunity.  Together we embrace our shared calling to make a difference in the world.  We accomplish this by partnering with others and building homes and hope.  The HFH GLA ministry allows congregations the opportunity to follow Christ’s teachings by serving those in need.  Each home built by HFH GLA is a testimony to the love of God.

2012 Lent Build

The 2012 Lent Build (February 22nd – April 8th) will join congregations of diverse denominations and membership sizes together to renovate homes across greater Los Angeles in partnership with deserving and low-income homeowners in need.  The concept is based on going out into the community to serve others in the way Jesus’ apostles served.  The Lent Build gives congregations an opportunity to reach its goals of ministry and local missions by offering people a way to share God’s love and lead people to grow in their faith.  It is a tangible way for church members to put their faith into action and reach beyond the walls of the church to serve.  For more information, please contact Chris Untiet at 424-246-3622 or at chrisu@habitatla.org.

You can participate in our Lent Build in several ways:

  • Come build with us – Please contact Chris Untiet for more information on how you can participate.
  • Take part in our 2012 Lent Devotion Calendar by giving up just a little each day to build and renovate homes for hard working, but low income families in need.  Every contribution makes such a difference.
  • Bring lunch or snacks out to the volunteers completing the homes
  • Pray for safety on the construction sites and that all in need would have an affordable place to live throughout Los Angeles.
  • Make a Lenten donation online and help more hardworking families move into safe, decent and affordable housing by Easter 2012!
